A519

A520 Posie Grey Scroll

A524

A525

A519 – Edinburgh shape coffee can and stand. Painted landscape all over by “Dean”. The presence of the inverted commas suggests that these were not decorated by the artist himself. Gold edge and foot line. A520 – Chelsea shape Teacup and Saucer. “Grey Scroll Posie Centre”. A524 – Chelsea Birds. Chelsea shape Teacup and Saucer. Printed in purple and enamelled in the same colour. No bead at the edge. A525 – Lichfield Shape dessert plate with plain centre.

A526

A528

A531 Orient

A534

A526 – Described as a duplicate of pattern 9563 with a maroon ground plus gold printed border and gold lines. That shown above must be a cobalt version. A528 – Another Lichfield shape dessert plate with ivory ground and blue green panels to edge. Gold tracery with gold line at verge. A531 - Chelsea shape coffee can and stand in the “Orient” pattern. See A643 for a differently coloured version of this pattern. A534 – Tea cup and saucer printed in gold and painted in purple. Two lines in purple with gold edge and line.

A545 – Edinburgh shape can and stand. Coloured in red, green and blue enamel. A547 – Edinburgh shape can and stand. Pattern printed in brown and coloured in green and purple. A549 – Olde Avesbury but including green enamel. A550 – Gadroon shape dessert plates with Golden Yellow ground. Painted landscapes in square panel by “Dean” in brown. I have seen these plates as a set of twelve. The presence of the inverted commas suggests that these were not decorated by the artist himself. I believe that the Edinburgh shape coffee cup and saucer is in the same pattern, but it is not marked as such.

A553

A553

A553

A553

A553

A553

A554

A553 – Described as in the “Mostyn” Shape having a Golden Fawn ground and painted landscapes by Dean. I have not been able to establish what the “Mostyn” Shape looks like so have included several possibilities with those above having Montreal Green and Golden Fawn grounds. No doubt further research will provide a definitive answer. A554 – Gadroon shape dessert plate with Rose du Barry ground. Chelsea Birds centre printed in purple and coloured as pattern A498. Actually listed as being in the Mostyn shape.

A555

A555. Gadroon shape dessert plates with Golden Fawn grounds and square panels. All are marked “Plummer, New York City”. Originally a set of twelve, only ten could be purchased. There are four different printed designs, all variously hand coloured, so all appear different at a glance. Signed “E May” which is presumably another generic name as per “Barlow” and “Garnett”.

A564

A567 Purple Scroll

A569 Beaumont

A572

A576

A577 Green Scroll

A561 – Lichfield shape plate with centre decoration as used for A569 “Beaumont”. A563 – Plain shape. The outline to this pattern is printed in brown and the blue is underglaze. Red tracing and enamel. This example has a plain centre. A562 is the same plate but with a centre. A564 - My representation of this pattern. Talbot/Tavistock shape with golden yellow ground extending below shoulder. Brown coloured printed rose centre. Seen as a set of 12 and marked Tiffany & Co New York. A567 –Chelsea shape teacup and saucer. As A496 but omitting the centre – thus “Purple Scroll Plain Centre”. A569 – “Beaumont” here as a coffee cup and saucer in the “Beaufort” shape but this popular pattern also appears in the Chelsea/Ely shape. Printed in grey with blue under glaze. Reprinted in red with large flower enamelled in red. Slightly traced in gold with gold edge. A572 – Gadroon shape dessert plate printed in black and coloured in blue, yellow green and red. Two gold lines. Same pattern as A585 (not shown) and A592. A576 – Plain shape. Printed in brown with blue underglaze. Coloured red and gilt. A594 (see below) is this pattern without an inner border but with a plain centre. A595 (not shown) is this pattern with an inner border but with a plain centre. A577 – Ely Shape. As A495 ”Green Scroll” but omitting the Derby Posies flower centre.

A592 This is a miniature but the pattern book lists a Square Chelsea teacup and saucer printed in black and coloured in blue together with chrome yellow/green and red enamel. A594 is listed in the plain shape but here is shown in the Ely version. It is the same pattern as A576 but without an inner border and with a plain centre. A597 is in the Royal Gadroon shape. The pattern is known as “Leroy”. This version is printed in brown with a Montreal Green ground. Blue/green panel with scarlet enamel spots. Enamelled flowers. Flower centre and four other flower sprays. A599 – Ely shape teacup and saucer. Cobalt ground with ivory ground. Posie litho sprays and group in centre. Gold line in centre in this version, but Cassidy’s (Department store) apparently contacted Harold Taylor Robinson who left a pencilled note in the pattern book: “to be done with scalloped centre for Cassidys 599 in future HTR” This later became known as A616 “Matlock” - see below.

A603 Glenmont

A603

A604

A605

A603 – Teacup and saucer in the Surrey shape. As pattern A513 but the bead is in purple. Known as “Glenmont”. This version is entirely hand painted -apparently freehand and shows remarkable artistry – do compare with the pieces in the “decorated by others” section. The other set listed under A513 is in the Chelsea shape and here a litho is used. A604 – Chelsea shape teacup and saucer. Chelsea Birds printed and painted in sap green. No bead at the edge. A605 – Chelsea shape teacup and saucer. Chelsea Birds printed and painted in red. No bead at edge.

A940 is a version of this pattern with a Montreal Green ground. Pattern A630 also appears in the Gadroon shape.

A643

A643

A643

A643 – Version of “Orient” printed in brown underglaze with matt blue, yellow, salmon, apple green and blue green hand painted enamels. It is very difficult to discern any real difference between this version and that marked A531. There would inevitably have been some variation depending on who enamelled the piece, and some colours would have changed in the firing process. In comparison the colouring in respect of A643 seems more restrained. Here are shown a sugar box and tea cream in the Chelsea shape, together with a Surrey shape teacup and saucer.

A645

A645

A652

A645 – Two Stanhope shape plates with Duesbury green grounds. Landscapes by Dean printed in brown. A652 – Ely shape plate with ivory and Duesbury green grounds. Pattern printed in red and reprinted in gold. Red enamelled flowers. A706 (not shown) is a version of this pattern in Montreal Green.

A668

A657 – “Cotswold” litho centres on small size Bedford Sweets (See Fancies). Gold Edge and line to grounds which include Golden Fawn, Pea Green, Duesbury Green, Montreal Green, Maroon and Rose du Barry. The Lithos for this pattern were apparently supplied by Capper Rataud Ltd, an important lithographic and screen print manufacturer based in Stoke on Trent. A note suggests that this pattern is not suitable for the smallest size Bedford Sweet. Two sizes are shown above. A668 – Pastoral scene printed in blue with gold edge. Listed as being in the Devon shape, this version is in the Dover shape.

A680 – Chelsea shape teacup and saucer. This pattern is called “Indiana” and is Royal Crown Derby’s version of the “Indian Tree” pattern. Printed in brown over glaze. Gold edge.
